A man from Modara, Moratuwa, prevented a possible train accident along the coastal railway line this morning by alerting an oncoming train to a broken rail.
Samantha Fernando saw the damaged track and acted quickly, waving a bright dress to stop the train before it reached the hazard. No injuries were reported.
Railway services between Panadura and Moratuwa were briefly suspended but have since resumed after repairs. (Newswire)
